Now that OnLive is live, details have emerged on Eurogamer.net outlining how much games will cost on the service, in addition to OnLive fees (which are not being charged yet). They show Brain Challenge for $4.99, F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin for $19.99, Just Cause 2 for $49.99, and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction for $59.99. Those are all pretty much in line for the prices for those games at retail, except in this case you will need to maintain your OnLive subscription to keep playing these games, and even then, access to these titles is only certain for the next three years, as they all carry a "rental duration" which reads: "Until at least 17th June 2013."

eh actually I can kinda see this working, maybe. See your all focusing on the full retail price, what you should look at is the 3-5 day price. If somebody doesnt want the games and is only looking for short term then its actually not so bad. The 3-5 day prices seem to be inline with rental pricing. So if somebody just wants to play a different game every 3-5 days this service is not so bad. They dont need to buy any hardware (console) and dont need to go to the video store and they can play all the latest games on thier TV on demand. Thing is is there such a market, or a large enough market, of gamers who dont want to play the same game for an extended period of time and just want to jump from game to game to game.

One big problem I see is the internet connection. It needs to be 5mbps and faster, in my neck of the woods the middle pakage $30 connection wont quite cut it (3-6mbps and I'm luckey to ever hit 4mbps) so I'd have to get the $45 package 10-15mbps, so right there without rental cost you are paying over $50 a month. Definatly not for me, but I dont rent games, but places do rent games so there does seem to be a market for it, but does the rental crowd have $45 a month internet hookups.
